Brazil's new interim government on Sunday dismissed "lies" from
left-wing Latin American leaders who are refusing to recognize its
authority and the suspension of President Dilma Rousseff.

The leaders of Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, Bolivia, Nicaragua and El
Salvador have all come out backing Rousseff and challenging the
legitimacy of her ouster that she has described as a "coup."

They so far refuse to recognize Brazil's caretaker government headed by
Vice President Michel Temer.

"We emphatically reject the declarations by the governments of
Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia, Ecuador and Nicaragua, as well as the ALBA (an
alliance of left-wing Latin American and Caribbean nations) that give
opinions and spread lies about Brazil's internal political process,"
said the newly appointed foreign minister, Jose Serra.

The suspension and trial of Rousseff "is provided for under the
constitution, in democratic legality," he said in a statement.

Rousseff was suspended from office last Thursday by the Brazilian
senate, which is taking up an impeachment trial against her for
allegedly fudging government accounts ahead of her 2014 reelection.
